Kinetic Sculpture




Watch in high quality! An amazing display of 714 metal balls on strings. It really gets creative after 1 minute. So please be patient. This display was created by the company http://www.artcom.de.

The modelers out there should really dig this.

Arthur Ganson: Sculpture that's truly moving



I am so addicted to the TED Talks and this guy's wish bone machine is just too kewl. It does look like a cowboy who has been on his horse too long trying to walk down the street.

Kinetic Art of Andrew Smith



Andrew Smith approaches his work with a very wide expectation of what a certain piece may become. A lot of this is determined by what sort of shapes and objects he finds in the studio. "Most of it is trial and error, a kind of form follows function construction process. If an element is not working or just doesn't do what I had hoped, I will cut it off and try something else. I enjoy the raw creativity in this process. Art doesn't always have to be serious, political or even emotional. Sometimes it can just be fun. Some people have a hard time understanding my sculptures. "Whats does it do?", they ask. I usually answer, "It's doing it."" - explained Andrew.



High Dive

High Dive uses one inch chrome ball bearings. The bearings are lifted to the top of the piece by both a rotating magnent lift and a chain lift. The balls are collected at the top in a small tube. Once five balls fill the tube it tips, releasing them all down the ramp towards a jump. The jump launches the balls backwards through the air onto a short track. This track leads to what was once a large satellite dish. The balls enter the dish and circle for about a minute and a half until they hit the rubber bumpers towards the center and bounce around until they randomly fall through the small hole at the center and roll back to the start.
